Conclusion. Neutron routers under Liberty (Linux Bridge) don't work. Please prove me wrong. Moving on to manual router creation. 1: How can I assign a fixed IP to an instance? 2: If I add routes will they get used? I probably have to create a Port for every route (as Floating IPs do ). ---

Hmmm. Well I'm not using OpenVSwitch. Just LinuxBridge. My CentOS 7 install sees emp3s0 where eth0 would usually appear. But this may need to be changed to br-ex? The IP address no longer apperas at enp3s0, so perhaps that's the issue. When I make changes, I tear down all the networks and

Hi Keven / all; Re: Getting a Neutron Router to work. (set external_network_bridge = blank). Apologies if this got sent twice. Nope, not quite there yet re getting the damn router to work (week 3 on this issue). The Liberty install instructions indeed say to set... external_network_bridge = I

Thanks. Will check that. When I create an instance in the public or private nets they ping. Why do router ports behave differently than instance ports? Only the Northbound router port is down and won't ping. Will check settings ASAP thanks Chris. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 23, 2016,

Ok. The same settings should apply to Linux bridge. Make sure you have external_network_bridge defined in your L3 agent as an empty value. Then your external network should be created with the provider type of 'flat' and the physical network corresponding to the one you have defined in your bridg

Kevin; Thank you Very much. I'll check. I did a manual Liberty install so I may have done something wrong. I am using LinuxBridge (not OpenVSwitch) if that helps. Will post results to list soon. Would like to be able to use floating IPs, a more convenient form of ipTables basically. Chr

Do you have external_network_bridge set to an empty value in the l3 agent config? If not, the l3 agent will use a legacy mode of wiring up the port and it's status field may not be ACTIVE. The routers are tested thousands of times in the gate every day, so they work. It's just a matter of getting

Hi all; It appears that Liberty Neutron routers do not work. The Northbound port is always Down. What I'd like to do is dedicate an instance (CentOS) to routing between the Public net and other nets. Has anyone done this. Setting up the router is trivial. But I'm a little worried about in
